Israeli airstrikes in central Beirut have claimed at least 20 lives and injured 66, as reported by the Lebanese Ministry of Health. U.S. envoy Amos Hochstein is in the region seeking a resolution between Israel and Hezbollah. Israel’s Defense Minister Israel Katz vowed to continue operations against Hezbollah, seeking further guarantees for a two-month ceasefire plan. The strikes targeted an eight-story building, allegedly attempting to assassinate Hezbollah official Mohammed Haidar, with significant civilian casualties reported in subsequent attacks across Lebanon.
